Beacon Municipal Center

Decatur, Georgia

Built on the site of what was once the heart of the City of Decatur’s African-American community, the Beacon Municipal Center’s trilogy of buildings stand in the name of public service. Home to the Decatur Police Department and Municipal Court, City Schools of Decatur Administrative Offices and the Ebster Recreation Center, the buildings offered us opportunity to create both drama and calm in one project, from striking lighting in the soaring atrium, to muted colors in reception areas and an enveloping corridor punctuated with inspiring words on lighted panels. The net effect is a modern, welcoming place to do city business, set in the center of a bustling, modern community.
